It means that patch process can't find the file named in the
patch-file. The top of patch.?? looks like:

	*** docsmaker.orig	Thu Nov 11 21:54:29 1999
	--- docsmaker	Sat Nov 13 10:40:15 1999
	***************

In this case it needs to find the file "docsmaker" in the current
directory. One possible cause is that the port (and therefore the
patches) aren't the same version as the source code that you're
using.
